Giving yourself the time and space to create inspires and transforms feelings and ideas into art but also, as Wallace Stegner once put it, helps heal emotional scars.

If everyone could create a little more then the world would be the better for it.

Every day and moment we spend creating something makes living more fun.

Our artists and writers seem to think so too: over the last 15 years we have had several couples and individuals who have now been on retreats to La Muse over 10 times and others who have chosen to come for 6 months at a time.
